Yesterday, a retail worker in Melbourne's north faced a traumatic experience while trying to prevent a pair of alleged thieves from shoplifting at a well-known outlet complex. Jeng, the worker, shared her account with 3AW Breakfast, stating that a man and a woman entered the Essendon DFO store around 5:30 pm and began stuffing items into their bags.
CCTV footage captured the moment when Jeng bravely intervened, attempting to stop the thieving duo from leaving the store. However, her efforts were met with aggression as the man and woman refused to comply and continued to walk out with almost $2000 worth of stolen goods.
A concerned caller, who witnessed the incident, shared their disbelief with 3AW's Rumour File, describing the couple as "very intimidating" and their actions as a "brazen robbery." The caller also revealed that Jeng, who was a casual staff member, was verbally abused and physically pushed by the thieves as she tried to prevent them from leaving.
In the aftermath, security was called to the store and a police report is expected to be filed today. The store has been approached for comment, but no statement has been released yet. This unfortunate incident highlights the need for stricter security measures to be implemented in retail stores, especially during peak hours.
